Brignancourt - Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens-et-Saint-Étienne

The parish church of Brignancourt (pop. 200) is one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the area. The nave was completed already late of the 11th century. A transept dates to the 12th century, when the church got enlarged. The church got severely damaged during the Hundred Years War and rebuilt and restored after that.

The tympanum of the southern portal has a geometric pattern. The archivolt consists out of daisies. The portal is flanked by two slim columns. Here is the capital of the right side - a head with long braids, reminding me on dreadlocks.
